Is pitch a liquid or a solid? It turns out that while it appears to be a solid at room temperature, it actually flows like a liquid ... a very, very viscous liquid. Why is this interesting? One of the ...

A t the University of Queensland, there is a display containing the longest-running laboratory experiment in the world. It's ...

The University of Queensland in Australia hosts the world's longest-running science experiment. The experiment began in 1927. It observes the flow of pitch, a substance that seems solid but is a very ...

Students will experiment with three different liquids to determine the relative viscosity and flow rate of each liquid. Mount Nyiragongo is a volcano in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 18 ...

The liquid levitates, and a boat floats along its bottom side. By Kenneth Chang Sail beneath a levitating sea — upside down? Through a couple of sleights of science, a team of French scientists showed ...

You guys. YOU GUYS. HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS IT FINALLY HAPPENED. After decades of observation, the climax of one of the longest running experiments in history has finally been captured on video. The pitch!

It took 69 years, but at last we’ve seen the pitch drop. One of the world’s longest-running experiments climaxed last week, when a finger-sized bulb of pitch (bitumen) separated from its parent bulk ...

One of the longest standing experiments has finally yielded a result. Started in 1944, it only took 69 years but the tar-like pitch at Trinity College Dublin has finally dropped. Pitch, for the ...
